Jing University Entrance.
Sheng Chuyi parked the car and said to Shen Zhaozhao, who was unbuckling her seatbelt to get out, "I have some work at the company today, and I’ve already asked for leave from my mentor. I’ll stay at the company for lunch, so I won’t be able to join you for the meal."
"No worries, you just focus on your stuff."
Shen Zhaozhao knew he was busy, and besides, she wasn’t a child who needed company to eat.
Sheng Chuyi pulled her close and kissed her on the forehead, whispering, "I’ll make you something delicious tonight."
Shen Zhaozhao got out of the car, smiled, and waved goodbye before heading towards the graduate school.
Just as Shen Zhaozhao entered the graduate school, she heard a familiar voice behind her.
She turned around and saw a tall figure walking towards her.
It was Jiang Mo, who had declared during the Study Department interview that he aimed to become the president of the Student Union.
Indeed, it wasn’t just talk; he actually achieved it. After Sheng Chuyi resigned, the person who took over as the new Student Union President was Jiang Mo.
"Junior Jiang, are you here to see someone?" Jing University’s undergraduates and graduate students shared a campus, but it was rare to see undergraduate juniors and sophomores at the graduate school.
"I’m here to see Professor Shen," Jiang Mo explained. "I want to apply for Professor Shen’s graduate program, so I thought I’d come to meet the professor in advance."
"You’re already scouting for mentors as a junior?" Indeed, the "king of effort" goes above and beyond everyone else.
Jiang Mo: "It’s actually late to start in the junior year. I’ve heard some students begin looking for mentorships from their sophomore year."
Alright, indeed at Jing University there is no limit to how much one can push themselves.
Back then, she only started contacting mentors after securing a direct PhD admission spot.
As for Professor Shen mentioned by Jiang Mo, Shen Zhaozhao was aware that he was Sheng Chuyi’s current graduate mentor.
It was one thing for this person to choose the same department as Sheng Chuyi when joining the club, but even picking the same mentor as him, if it weren’t because he was a guy, Shen Zhaozhao would have wondered if he was secretly in love with Sheng Chuyi.
But in the end, it’s his choice and she didn’t really have any say in it.
"I have a class soon, I should go now!"
Shen Zhaozhao nodded at him and greeted him before she prepared to leave for her class.
"Senior Sister." But then, Jiang Mo called out to her again.
"Is there something else?" Shen Zhaozhao asked.
Jiang Mo: "I heard Senior Brother Sheng started a tech company off campus; I’m not sure if they’re still looking for interns? I would like to intern at Senior Brother Sheng’s company for a while, I wonder if that would be possible?"
Shen Zhaozhao looked at him surprisingly: "You’re a junior now, your courses must be quite packed. Do you have time to do an internship?" She remembered being so busy in her junior year that she even gave up her tutoring job.
Jiang Mo explained: "Actually, I’ve already completed all the credits required for the university ahead of time, and I’ve finished self-studying the courses for the junior year. Other than preparing for the postgraduate entrance exam, I want to gain some practical experience by interning in a company in advance. Don’t worry, I can definitely balance my studies and work. I’ve heard that Senior Brother Sheng started his company when he was a junior as well. Managing a company must be more taxing than interning, and if Senior Brother Sheng could do it, I’m sure I can too."
This guy really never misses an opportunity to compare himself to Yiyi. She wasn’t sure if he saw Sheng Chuyi as an idol or a rival.
Shen Zhaozhao: "I’ll ask him for you."
"Thank you, Senior Sister," Jiang Mo said with a smile of gratitude.
